Barn House

The Barn House was designed as an entertainment pavilion for large gatherings and as a weekend and vacation home. As part of an architecturally unified compound, the client wanted this house to be transitional in style, more traditionally inflected than the main house but incorporating modern elements that speak directly to the other structures.
